My Profile

We currently run a programme called Meet Me at the Albany (MMatA) an innovative artist led group for the over 60ís, which aims to establish a social relationship with the older people in South East London, and offer a weekly programme of activities to the isolated older community. This weekly programme runs every Tuesday from 10am to 2pm, and has many activities such as knitting, arts and crafts, singing, games, and movement classes. This is one of the most important activities we run in our building, as it promotes social inclusion, and relieves the stress and confusion brought on by dementia. We have a dedicated team of volunteers who come every week to help facilitate the running of the activities.

Ben Stephen, Head of Premises, has volunteered to run 10k on the 25th of May to raise funds for this project. Ben has been in intensive training for weeks on end, and feels ready to run for Meet Me at the Albany, a programme he is keen to see continued.
